The traction control and other warnings can signal many things....
It could be a throttle body issue, or throttle body wiring, or an AFM issue if you are consuming a lot of oil....
Have some basics checked like fuel pressure, compression checked on all cylinders,inspect all plugs for oil fouling, have the alcohol reading in the computer checked, consider getting fuel from another station...

Traction light and Abs lights came on after I had my tires rotated...???
I took my Suburban to have the tires rotated. As soon as the job was completed and I drove away the traction and ABS warning lights came on!
Drove for a few miles hoping that the codes would clear and they did not. Called the service center and they said it had nothing to do with them.
Seeking some advice, no other issues with 63,000 mile Suburban.

+1 what trainwreck91 said, a wheel speed sensor most likely got knocked or pulled loose... and my 2 cents, don't ever go back to who did your tire rotation, they probably did something and aren't willing to acknowledge it... knocking the sensor or connectors is something that is very easy to do when working in the wheel wells...
It was most likely a rambunctious monkey doing the rotation as quickly as possible to get customers in and out...

Throttle position sensor could be the culprit. However it's integral to the throttle body. Check codes first. Cost about $140 from Amazon and easy to install.
